24、阅读下面短文，根据提问回答下面的问题。 （10分）

Nowadays people are making themselves beautiful in Korean ways.

“Thank goodness you have double eyelids(双眼皮). Your parents will save a lot of money,” said a friend when I was five years old. Double eyelids, which almost all the white people have, are rare among Northeast Asians. Only 25% of South Koreans are born with double eyelids.

I never quite understood how having double eyelids saved my parents’ money until this summer. When I came back to Seoul, everywhere I noticed cosmetic surgery clinics(整形诊所) and advertisements with South Korean women—tall, thin, with milky skin, long legs, nice big eyes and perfect noses. I found that South Korean beauty meant looking as “white” as possible.

Cosmetic surgery has a kind of magical attraction to women—the promise of beauty. Women are often sure that suffering is necessary and worthy in order to be beautiful. This suffering is not for nothing. It is believed that beauty leads to attracting a better-looking partner, which then leads to a better-looking child and a better life.

Appearance is starting to be more important in workplaces. People with good appearance can have more chance. For example, my 29-year-old brother, who is slim and very tall, gets more job chances than his best friend, who is shorter and heavier, though both of them came from the same college, had the same good marks in their studies. In fact, many South Koreans believe that physical beauty equals happiness.

【1】How many South Koreans are born with double eyelids?

___________________________________________________________________________

【2】When did the writer understand having eyelids saved his parents’ money?

___________________________________________________________________________

【3】 Why do so many women want to have cosmetic surgery?

___________________________________________________________________________

【4】What kind of people can get more job chances in the passage?

___________________________________________________________________________

【5】What do many South Koreans believe?

___________________________________________________________________________

25、

During the last few years of his life, my dad lived just up the road from me in a tiny house. He had been alone for over 20 years after losing his wife. His mother had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired (退休), so he spent a lot of time alone.

Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room, drink tea and talk. It wasn’t anything big. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather, and enjoyed a laugh over old memories. It wasn’t anything too deep. It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son, an hour spent just enjoying each other’s company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest time spent with my dad. It allowed us to gently heal (治愈) any old wounds we had given each other when I was growing up. It allowed us to silently give each other time and love. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world.

I know that when my own time in this world is done, I will get to spend another afternoon with my dad. We will sit, talk, catch up, and quietly enjoy each other’s company. We will share all the love we didn’t get to share. And we will remember that afternoon forever.

If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons, it is this: It is never too late to spend time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. Begin today! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a lifetime.

【2】When he was visiting his dad, he did lots of things with him EXCEPT ________.

A．imagine a beautiful future for his dad

B．advise people to spend afternoons nicely
